A doctor who prescribed rest, ice, and comfortable shoes for a woman who later died of a blood clot, was medically negligent, a coroner has ruled.
Jacqueline Allwood, 47, died 10 days later after a blood clot travelled from her leg to her lung.
Dr Saurabh Adlakha knew of the family history of deep vein thrombosis, Southwark Coroner's Court heard.
Recording a narrative verdict, medical negligence by Dr Adlakha contributed to her death, said coroner Andrew Harris.
The inquest was told Dr Adlakha suggested Ms Allwood had probably suffered a sprained calf picking up Christmas decorations in December of 2012.
